    Good Day,

    I have two lists in two different sp sites (wss 3.0).  They need to be merged together; at the moment they do not have the exact same columns, but list1 can be changed to match list2.  I need to move list1 into list2.  All of the rows also have a document associated with them.

    What I planned to do was move the documents over with explorer view or SP Designer and then move the associated rows over with the data view in the list after I changed the rows to match.  Similar to what is described here (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010general/thread/e6f5844f-7051-424f-ad5d-538739dc910c).  However I am not able to create a new row, I have the option to create a new row but one does not get created.

    I can save the list as a template, but I cannot save the content with it because it exceeds the size limitations.

    If someone has a better way to do this I am all ears.  Also side note the sites are on the same web app, and same content database.

    Thanks,
    Hyde

    I just wanted to add that in order to get around the template size restraints I upped the size to 500 mb and I am still over (about 3 times that).

    STSADM Command in case someone else can use it:
    stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname max-template-document-size -propertyvalue 50000000


    Thanks,

    I found this solution which requires the ability to run on the WFE, a general knowledge of VS, and C#.  It worked very well.

    I had used earlier the content deployment wizard. It is available on codeplex and it solved similar purpose.
